Domestic production is in the ascendant, the construction of the new capital is complicated, Marshal Lothar calls for a party, and his sister is tragically kidnapped when she returns home.

Carlos hastily ended his inspection tour and hurried back to Alterac City, with a burning belly.

Own captain of the guard has escorted Brian. Copperbeard travels through the Blackstone Mountain Tunnel to the Sersilver Outpost, Sylvie. Morgan urged himself to keep his promise.

Lothar finally completed the internal integration of the alliance army, and after a meeting, it was time for the division to go south and continue to open with the tribe.

The integration of domestic forces is on the right track, the mountain faction has basically been suppressed, and everyone has accepted the order to build a new city in Hillbride, which is quite touching to think about.

The first summer rations were ripe, and the order for the compilation of the refugees and the gradual abolition of the war ****** was issued.

The conflict with his father was also alleviated after he was scolded.

Everything went according to their own plan.

I'm *** a genius hahahaha, smack.

Carlos was slapped in the face.

After her sister Elucia helped her complete the portal, she couldn't resist her parents' urging to get married, and returned home with her maid retinue to return to Keldaron from Alterac to take refuge.

However, there is a guy who is not long-eyed and actually kidnaps the king's sister in the Alterac Kingdom of Haiyan Heqing.

I don't want to live, right, I don't want to live.

For the first time, Carlos wondered if he was so merciful that his enemies were not afraid of the horrific retribution from the king after hurting his own loved ones.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, there is no follow-up contact with the other party, the only threatening letter was forwarded by a shepherd boy, and the clue is broken."

The bald brother claims to be an expert in kidnapping and extortion. However, the other side is also very professional, and in front of Carlos, the intelligence leader helplessly lowered his head to show a helpless look.

The elite was sent to follow the route of Eluthia's return to the country, and found the carriage broken to pieces under the cliff, but there was no body and no signs of a fight. It is completely impossible to determine whether it is a long-planned conspiracy by external forces or an internal ghost.

Four guards, two maids, a coachman, plus the eldest princess Elucia, the world evaporated.

The line of pursuit was broken, and the bald brother could not even determine the exact location of the first crime, and all that remained was the threatening letter and the shepherd boy who delivered it.

However, not every cowherd baby is called Wang Erxiao, and not every wild child is called Zhang Ga. The shepherd boy didn't know anything, but a dusty traveler paid for a dried fruit. Ask him to send a letter somewhere, and the adults will give him ten copper coins.

"Did you give it?"

"Huh? What the? ”

"The shepherd boy's payment, he fulfilled the agreement, so did you give the money?"

"Forehead ......"

A bunch of murderous rough men surrounded the poor little guy and glared angrily, and the little guy was about to cry.

"I received the letter, you can go home."

Taking the ten copper coins handed by the guard, Carlos touched the shepherd boy's head and motioned for the bald brother to release him.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Cow."

Carlos turned his head and glanced at the bald brother.

"You. Go. ”

The bald brother shook his eyes, and an ordinary-looking fellow left with the shepherd boy.

"Your Majesty. We checked, and there was no problem with the shepherd boy. The only useful information we get is that they know about our secret stronghold. ”

"And then you held an innocent child for two whole days?"

Carlos also knew that he was angry, but his sister was kidnapped, which made him angry.

The bald brother thought about it, but finally did not speak.

Taking the letter again, Carlos glanced at it. He snorted heavily.

"Carlos, please. His Majesty King Barov is in the royal city, and we will contact you again. ”

Ordinary envelope, ordinary paper, ordinary ink, ugly words, just one sentence, no more information.

"So the clues are all broken?"

Carlos couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty. You asked not to alarm more people, not even the Duke and Duchess, so it is impossible for us to search the whole territory. Kidnapping and ransom cases, in this case, are very difficult to solve. ”

And we are professional, and we can see that the other side is also very professional.

But this sentence was buried in the bottom of my heart and did not say it.

"Then I'll go back, you continue to check, how long can you delay, if you can't hide it, let your father know, but definitely don't let your mother know, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Leaving the small village east of Steinbled, Carlos returned to the city of Alterac.

It is clear that there are two kinds of situations at the moment. One is that the kidnappers want Carlos to return to Alterac so that he can extort ransom. It's not terrible, as long as he can redeem his sister, Carlos has a hundred ways to make the kidnappers not survive. The other is more terrifying, the original purpose of the kidnappers was to bind Carlos to Alterac City. If so, the safety of Ilucia's life is at stake.

"Need my help?"

Arya asked with her big shining eyes, and conveyed to Carlos that I am idle, I am powerful, and I am willing to help.

"Your father is also a suspect, and you need to avoid suspicion."

Carlos gave a nudge and slapped Arya's face away from his eyes.

It won't be a dissenting aristocrat in the country, at present, Carlos's power occupies an absolute advantage in the country, and there is no need for conclusive evidence, as long as I think you did it, then it is good to destroy you first and then slowly find evidence. Wealthy nobles would not easily use kidnapping as a means to deal with a king who had the ability to take revenge.

It's a foreign force, but I don't know who it is.

This is Carlos' judgment.

Although he knew that his whereabouts could not escape the eyes of those who cared about him, Carlos still chose to take a carriage back to the city.

Along the way, Arya perfectly played the role of a dog-headed military advisor, talking serious nonsense and analyzing the possibility of the case for Carlos.

"I'm not going back to the palace yet, I'm going to the Knights."

After passing through the gates of Alterac City, Carlos gave the order, the carriage broke away from the brigade and drove directly into the headquarters of the Knights of the Kingdom of Church, escorted by a small number of plainclothes soldiers.

"Wait, this is the barracks, Your Majesty Carlos, didn't we say okay, you won't ground me!"

Surrounded by four tin cans, Arya let out a wail.

"Our agreement is not to throw you into the mountains, that's all."

Carlos, who was worried about his sister's comfort, didn't have time to play word games with Alia, and after arranging for the guards to be watched, he ignored Arya's struggles.

"I have made meritorious contributions to XX, I have shed blood for OO, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You can't do this to me! ”

After dealing with Arya's vignette, Carlos prepares to take a spin around the Order to see how the new batch of Paladin Apprentices is progressing.

"Young Master, you've come to inspect. There is a letter that needs to be forwarded to you. ”

Seeing that Carlos had a free time, Todd quickly stepped forward to salute, and then took out a parchment roll of fire-lacquered letters from his secretary's bag.

"This was sent by someone this morning, but judging from the fire paint letter, this is the eldest lady's. I do not understand why the letter of the eldest lady should be handed over to you by my own hand. ”

Todd didn't know about Illucia's kidnapping, so he reported it to Carlos with some doubts.

"yes, I see."

Without rushing to open it, Carlos pretended to be calm and put the letter in his sleeve pocket.

It wasn't until he had spent more than an hour inspecting the training of the new batch of Paladin Apprentices that Carlos instructed Todd to arrange a rest room for him.

"Tanhime, is someone secretly observing my movements?"

Carlos asked, looking into the empty room.

No one replied.

"Continue to observe my surroundings, look for the unusual behavior of the people around me, and if the Duke Regent doesn't take the initiative to ask, you don't take the initiative to report."

With that, Carlos threw his money bag on the table, then took out the letter and read it carefully.

When Carlos looked up after reading it, the money bag was gone.

If it weren't for the greed for money and fear of death, Tanhime might have become a more terrible killer than Garona.

This stealth ability is getting more and more terrifying.

Carlos couldn't help but smile cruelly after reading the letter.

I'm not afraid that you will pretend to be mysterious, but I am afraid that you will not make a request.

After carefully reading the letter written by the kidnappers in the name of Elucia, Carlos became murderous. (To be continued.) )
